Papaya contains enzymes called papain, which incidentally can be used to tenderize meats. But kiwis, pineapples, and other acidic fruits can do the same thing. Kojic acid comes from a specific mushroom or fungus called koji in Japanese. In my experience, papaya/papain irritates the hell out my skin compared to kojic acid.

Midna (and anyone else) could you speak more on pre-peel skin prep (weeks before not minutes before) you mentioned doing____ in the BIG skin peel thread but I don't recall what it was. Also post peel skin healing renewing protection etc.

Any comment on MUAC and other Commercial peels vs DIY peels would be appreciated. are the other ingredients added to comm. peels worth the price?
